- Quest One and MasTec CE&I signed an MoU to streamline the construction of large-scale PEM electrolysis plants across North America.
- They will combine Quest One’s Modular Hydrogen Platform with MasTec’s construction expertise to accelerate green hydrogen deployment in North America.
Quest One, a leading manufacturer of electrolysers, has partnered with MasTec Clean Energy & Infrastructure (CE&I), a significant infrastructure construction firm, to expand green hydrogen solutions across North America.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), marking the beginning of a strategic, non-exclusive collaboration to optimise the construction of large-scale electrolysis projects.
Quest One and MasTec CE&I plan to co-develop standardised, streamlined constructability concepts for industrial-scale proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis plants. This joint effort will reduce capital costs and mitigate construction risks, making green hydrogen projects more financially viable.
Both companies emphasise that a collaborative approach is essential to strengthening the green hydrogen value chain.
According to Jaryd O’Brasky, Vice President of Customer Operations at Quest One North America, “As green hydrogen projects scale to hundreds of megawatts, the impact of plant site construction becomes increasingly critical for enabling project bankability and financing. At Quest One, we strongly believe in proactive collaboration with EPCs to ensure our electrolyser plants are designed for optimised constructability.”
O’Brasky also highlighted the benefits of Quest One’s Modular Hydrogen Platform (MHP), stating, “We engineer and manufacture our MHP to maximise prefabrication and minimise on-site installation complexity. Combined with MasTec’s extensive expertise in renewable energy and infrastructure construction, we aim to reduce costs further and schedule risks at the plant level for our customers.”
Furthermore, Chris McGahee, Executive Vice President of Industrial at MasTec CE&I, echoed this sentiment. “We’re excited to join forces with Quest One to advance green hydrogen solutions across North America,” he said. “Our extensive experience in large-scale construction and complex infrastructure makes this partnership a seamless fit for our commitment to sustainable energy. By enhancing our capabilities in electrolyser plant construction, we aim to reduce costs, optimise constructability, and accelerate project timelines to drive the future of green hydrogen.”
Meanwhile, the Modular Hydrogen Platform is Quest One’s largest PEM electrolyser. Its scalable, modular design makes it ideal for industrial green hydrogen production. With input blocks starting at 10 megawatts, the system allows for flexible expansion to several hundred megawatts. Furthermore, the MHP is optimised for installation on preassembled skids and manufactured in the U.S., specifically for the North American market.
By combining their strengths, Quest One and MasTec CE&I are taking decisive steps toward making green hydrogen more accessible, cost-effective, and scalable across the continent.
